My dream...

Dear friends,

For all this while I kept talking about how we all must do something for the under privileged of our society, little realising that I, myself have done hardly anything as yet!

On the superficial level I was continuing with my life as a professional writer, doing a job like many others and being happy with life in general. But deep inside, I was disturbed with the thought that I am not complete as a human being, not as yet.

And so began my search for social organisations which may need my assistance as a person who can do something for them. I came across this Orphanage where about 36 girls are housed, fed, sent to school etc.

This is an orphanage where I have begun to teach Marathi to children who are in convent and Marathi medium school. They are between the age group of 6 to 14. Each Saturday I will be going after office and be there from about 3.30 to 7 p m These children are either orphaned, destitute or been given custody by court. All the 36 girls stay together here and are Rehabilitated through handwork, sewing and card making.

Their unit tests are approaching so as of now I am taking their studies in general. Once the tests are over I will begin to teach them BARAKHADI, as they are just too weak in Marathi.

The address is:

League of Mercy -The Shelter
61 Mirza Galib Marg
Byculla
Mumbai – 400008
Karmayogi: Ms. Malti Bardey, Superintendent
Tel: 2307 2381

(I will write about the other activities of this Orphanage later in a separate blog, may be post some pictures also)

Thanks for your kind words and appreciation. But I am sure there are many others also who must be doing such work for the under privileged. In fact I know some from Fropper itself who do...This work gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction. I have finally realized my dream and I thank God for showing me the light!

Anybody wanting to visit the Orphanage can visit to meet me and the other inmates in between 3.30 to 7 p m each Saturday. In fact I would urge people staying in Mumbai to go visit even at their own convenience.
